Abstract
An efficient and practical method for the synthesis of 1,2,4-triazolo[5,1-b]quinazolin-9(3H)-ones has been developed via the copper-catalyzed domino reactions of readily available substituted N′-acetyl-2-bromobenzohydrazides with cyanamide. The protocol uses inexpensive CuI as the catalyst, and no other ligand or additive was required. The target products were prepared in good to excellent yields with tolerance of various functional groups.

- 15 General Procedures for the Preparation of Compounds 3a–w: A Schlenk tube was charged with a mixture of CuI (0.03 mmol, 5.7 mg), Cs2CO3 (0.3 mmol, 98 mg), substituted N′-acetyl-2-bromobenzohydrazide 1 (0.3 mmol), cyanamide (2; 0.45 mmol, 19 mg) and anhyd DMF (3.0 mL). After being evacuated and recharged with Ar for three times, the tube was sealed and the mixture was allowed to stir at 120 °C for 10–15 h. After completion of the reaction, the mixture was cooled to r.t., and H2O (20 mL) was added to the mixture. The solution was extracted with CH2Cl2–MeOH (10:1; 3 × 10 mL), and the combined organic layers were dried over anhyd Na2SO4. The solution was concentrated, and the residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (CH2Cl2–MeOH = 30:1 or 20:1) providing the target product (3a–x). Three representative examples are shown as follows: 6-Methyl-2-phenyl-[1,2,4]triazolo[5,1-b]quinazolin-9(3H)-one (3e): eluent: CH2Cl2–MeOH = 30:1.
